I'm heading to JT this summer with my climbing partner. We're going primarily for bouldering and am looking to get some information about the problems. We're a boy-girl partnering and our strengths are completely different. Is there an area that has a good amount and variation in problems? We don't care about ratings only fun problems. I'm planning on buying a guide (...Classic Bouldering and Routes), but I'm assuming there's no description of boy or girl preferences. Any thoughts? Also, I noticed that the problems look especially high; is this true? We're indoor climbers, but more recently have been hitting up The Red- and The New River Gorge to give some background. We have about two weeks to climb. Beth

when you discover how hot the desert is in the summer, consider checking out black mountain or the tramway.

the average highs in JT for June, July, and August are over 100 degrees. how hot do you tihnk that rock will be after baking in the sun all day? if you do go you'll have to climb at dawn. having said that, JT is an amazing place.
